When you activate a license, the license is transferred from the License Activation Server to your License Server. When activating a license, details about the transaction and registration details are stored with the license on the License Server.
The examples in these sections are adaptable on all systems including the ones where License Server, WorkStation, and Enterprise Server are located on the same computer.
The license activation procedure consists of four steps:
Request order information
Activate network license on License Server
Configure Enterprise Server’s address to the License Server
Configure WorkStation’s address to the License Server
To receive order information from the License Activation Server, you need the Entitlement ID of the order. The entitlement ID is the designation that represents the license purchased by the customer. This ID is included in the Entitlement Certificate that is sent by e-mail when an order is approved.
For more information, see Order Information Request .
To activate a network license means that a license is transferred from the License Activation Server, hosted by Schneider Electric, to your License Server. Once activated, the network license is available for use.
For more information, see Network Licenses Activation .
After licenses are activated on the License Server, you configure the Enterprise Server connection to the License Server. The address to the License Server is defined during the installation of Enterprise Server using License Administrator.
For more information, see Enterprise Server Address Configuration .
After licenses are activated on the License Server you have to configure the Workstation and its client tools connection to the License Server, where licenses are available for check out. The address to the License Server is defined either during the installation of WorkStation, through License Administrator, or Windows registry.
For more information, see WorkStation and Client Tools Address Configuration .
